Recipe Ingredients:
- 1 1/4 lbs ripe Roma tomatoes
- 1 (14.5 oz) can petite diced tomatoes
- 2 green onions
- 1/3 cup chopped red onion
- 1 jalapeno pepper
- 1/3 cup fresh cilantro (about a handful)
- 1 large clove garlic, roughly chopped
- 2 Tbsp fresh lime juice
- 1/2 tsp chili powder
- 1/4 tsp ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp granulated sugar (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
How To Make Salsa Recipe?
- Prepare the Ingredients: Combine all the ingredients in a food processor.
- Pulse the Mixture: Pulse the processor in 1-second bursts until everything is finely chopped.
- Taste and Adjust: Season with additional salt or pepper if needed.
- Chill the Salsa: For best results, refrigerate the salsa for a few hours to let the flavors marinate.
- Serve and Store: Serve with tortilla chips. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
Recipe Tips:
- Use Fresh Tomatoes: For the best flavor, choose ripe Roma tomatoes. If they’re not in season, canned tomatoes work just as well.
- Control the Heat: Keep the jalapeño seeds for extra spice, or remove them for a milder salsa. Taste as you go to adjust the heat level.
- Don’t Skip the Chill Time: Let the salsa sit in the fridge for at least 1 hour. This allows the flavors to blend and makes it taste even better.
- Balance the Flavors: A pinch of sugar helps cut acidity, and a squeeze of lime juice brightens the flavor. Adjust these to your preference.
- Avoid Over-Blending: Pulse the food processor gently. You want a slightly chunky texture, not a smooth puree.
How To Store Leftovers?
- First, let the leftover salsa cool to room temperature. Transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate. It will stay fresh for up to 1 week.
